'Tis the season
November 1st 2011

Leading supplier of short term hire lift trucks, Briggs Equipment is advising companies to carry out a review of their health and safety policies and training methods so they can safely cope with an increase in demand during the run up to Christmas. Previous studies carried out by the company have shown that a sudden increase in workload can lead to a disproportionate increase in accidents involving forklift operators.

Briggs believes that the surge in accidents could be driven by companies using temporary or agency drivers and therefore businesses should not 'cut corners' when training these staff during peak periods.
